This paper explores the social effects of pornography as they are portrayed in the tv series Damages. The key words that are analyzed – pleasure, guilt, screen, society, habit, masturbation – create an indirect but strong relationship between the lonely practice and the everyday forms of life. This conceptual constellation – that arises from the interpretation of the first season of the series, “The Frobisher case” – composes an organic pattern and provide a problematic image of the pornographic matter.
